I Held Her In My Arms Lyrics


Alkaline Trio I Held Her In My Arms


I'm gnawing on the knowledge that I have been burnt.
And I'm learning things that I should've already
learnt.
Everyone I ever knew was so kind and coy.
I was with a girl, but it felt like I was with a boy.

I can't even remember...if we were lovers, or if I just
wanted to
But I held her in my arms,
I held her in my arms
I held her in my arms; but it wasn't you

I will not kill the one thing I love
In this world of wreckage, I look above.
I say, "Help me, Lord, help me understand;
What it means to be a boy and what it means to be a
man."

I can't even remember if we were lovers, or if I just
wanted to
But I held her in my arms,
I held her in my arms
I held her in my arms; but it wasn't you

I'm gnawing on the knowledge that I have been burnt.
And I'm learning things that I should've already
learnt.
Everyone I ever knew was so kind and coy.
I was with a girl, but it felt like I was with a boy.

(x2)I can't even remember...if we were lovers, or if I
just wanted to
But I held her in my arms,
I held her in my arms
I held her in my arms; but it wasn't you
